Male attacks two with thoughts and words of 'sacrifices and demons'; Arrested for multiple charges

(Casper, Wyo.) - On Friday, April 1st at approximately 6:15 am Casper
Police Officers responded to the area of CY Avenue for a report of a
disturbance.
According to reports, officers arrived on scene and were advised that a
male, later identified as Christopher Durgin was fighting in the parking
lot. Officers were advised that Durgin had assaulted a male and female but
was now separated and was in the parking lot rambling about demons.
Upon arrival officers located Durgin, who matched the description provided
by dispatch. Reports show that Durgin was screaming towards the sky.
Officers stepped out of patrol cars and they overheard Durgin yelling
non-scenically about the Bible and demons.
Officers attempted to speak with Durgin, who continued to ramble, according
to reports and spoke about the devil. Reports continue to show that he
began making furtive movements and waving his hands towards the sky.
Because of his bizarre behavior, officers believed that Durgin was under
the influence of methamphetamine. They asked him if he was okay, and he
reportedly clinched his fists as though ready to attack. Reports show that
he rushed the officer and threw a 'haymaker' punch towards him.
Reports continue to show that officers gained control of Durgin and put
handcuffs on him. He was taken to a patrol car continuing to yell about
demons.
Officers then spoke with one of the witnesses at the residence who told
them, he had been hanging out at his apartment on CY Avenue with a female
friend of his and Durgin, who he had just met. He told officers that he
went to sleep and was awoken by Durgin screaming about 'demons'. He told
officers that he saw Durgin attacking the female and he attempted to stop
him.
The witness continued to report that he attempted to contact law
enforcement and was attacked by Durgin who punched him until he fell to the
ground. While on the ground he attempted to dial 911 again, when reports
show, Durgin grabbed a snow shovel and began striking him in the back and
the head. The male then fled from the area without shoes.
Officers searched the area for the male. They spoke with During and then
transported him to WMC for clearance. He wast transported to NCDC without
incident.
Reports continue to show that officers then spoke with the woman involved
who stated, that she was approached by Durgin on the 31st at the Library
bus stop and they began talking and would eventually walk to the residence
along CY Avenue together.
Reports continue to show that the two went to another place and Durgin
cooked her dinner. Reports continue to show that the two would later return
to the CY residence where the three were hanging out. The woman decided to
go to sleep but had reported, weird feelings about Durgin but went to
sleep.
At approximately 6:00 am, according to reports, the female was woken up by
Durgin violently shaking her by her shoulders. Durgin began rambling about
"god and the devil" and stated that he must 'sacrifice' her for God. Durgin
then apologized to God for the 'sacrifice' then proceeded to bite the woman
on the left side of her neck covering the jugular, according to reports.
Reports continue to show that her screams woke the other male who came in
and assisted and called 911.
Upon further investigation of the injuries and statements, Christopher
Durgin was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault,
possession of meth and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
